We invite you to join us at the Sevenoaks Retreat Center,
in the beautiful mountains of Virginia, for our annual Summer Residential Course dedicated to the discoveries of F.M. Alexander.
This year, longtime returning participants, beginning and
advanced students, along with teachers who wish to deepen their skills, will come together once again in a supportive, deeply nourishing, learning community. We welcome you. Our days are filled with rich explorations of the Alexander principles in small and large groups with a high teacher-student ratio.
A continuing inspiration for our Alexander community
is the faculty's shared study with Marjorie Barstow, a graduate of
F.M. Alexander's first teacher training course. Marjorie worked
primarily within a group setting, bringing even the simplest of
activity to an art form. We honor her teaching influence in the daily classes and group activities during the workshop.
Course Details and Info
“Is it possible to be alive,
active in the world,
and yet have such calm...
such inner openness and presence...
to lead a life...
that is an expression of that quality of meditative quiescence...
alert and completely at ease,
completely at rest?”
–Arthur Zajonc
Alexander Technique at Sevenoaks
June 17 ~ June 22, 2018
To witness an emerging butterfly
through the transparent veil of a chrysalis...
stunning!
Can we sense our selves
with the same wonder and appreciation?
In the Alexander study, we practice coming to stillness,
then take this resting into activity.
We embody the chrysalis and the unfolding of our wings.
Our inner essence shines through.
Our event is held at the Sevenoaks Retreat Center near Charlottesville, Va.
